Girls Don't Want a Nice Guy

Through extensive interviews and research, (no, not just my cousins this time) I have compiled a list of the top 10 reason why girls don't like nice guys. Oh they say they want a nice guy, but at the end of the day, they don't date nice guys. I know it's a double standard, that girls need to appear to be respectable, i.e. not a sleezy slut, so they try and be seen with a decent guy, but they crave bad boys. All those guys in jail prove it. They all have or had girl friends. So the message is clear, broken English; high-school drop out; police record; getting into fights, is a sure way to get in bed with 99.999999% of the girls on the planet.

﻿

What's worse is, the very thing that women crave, they look for in a man with the opposite qualities. And, what are these qualities that women want? Oh that's easy:

strength

protection

freedom

They are under the assumption that they cannot get these qualities in a nice guy, so they go looking for it in a bad boy.

Top 10 Reasons Why Nice Guys Finish Last

Nice guys have no adventure or are not wild and crazy: women are constantly thinking that good guys are boring and have absolutely no fun. Apparently good guys stay home and read books (or write blogs, wait a minute, that's me *gasp*). Girls don't think good guys have any "fun", like getting arrested?

Nice guys have no sense of humor: turn on any t.v. show and you'll find some idiot guy punching, kicking, tripping or falling, and laughing about it. Even videos online have guys getting into fights and laughing about it. If you're a guy in a public computer place, your best bet to get a chick is to watch one of those videos and laugh at it and ask a cute girl to come watch it with you. 9 out of 10 of those girls will give you their number on the spot.

Nice guys cry. Girls think that being sensitive in a man is a sign of complete weakness. It's an extremely unfair double standard. They want a guy to ask them what's wrong with them when they're sad, but God forbid he ever has a bad day. You can't have a guy that is sensitive enough to see when you're sad, yet not feel sad himself. He either is sensitive or he's not. He either knows when you're crying, because he cries too, or he doesn't give a rat's patoot at all.

Nice guys run away from fights. However dumb that even sounds, girls think that bad boys will stick up for them [the girl] and for themselves. What women have no understanding is that intimidation is how most fights are actually won. Guys don't lift weights to be better fighters, we lift weights so we can be physically menacing. How many men in the U.S. are actually on a professional football team? That would be about 0.00000001% of the male population. Yet the fitness industry has exploded. There are more physically fit and bodybuilder level men now that ever in the history of mankind. And, it's not because men need to be that big.

Nice guys don't drink / smoke. This may vary around the country. Around here there is a huge section of the population that is from a cult, and they don't drink or smoke. No girl wants to date them, except the other cult girls, but ... anywho. Girls feel they cannot go "out" with nice guys and have a little night on the town. Trust me, going to the library, as a date, is no fun. I've done it. LOL She asked me to meet her there so, don't blame me.

Nice guys are not confident. This is one of the biggest complaints girls have about nice guys. While noone wants to be physically abused, a lot of women want to be manhandled. They want to physically feel the strength of the guy on their body. This is why so many women are attracted to big body builder guys. Even fat guys are more successful than skinny guys. Being physically imposing, goes a long way with women. Although the good guy would say he's being polite, most women have absolutely no concept of manners. At least, in this day and age they do not. Girls have no idea that saying "excuse me" is actually polite. Therefore they are attracted to a guy that simply brushes by them, more than a guy that waits until you get out of the way, or says excuse me as he walks by.

Nice guys don't make "moves". While this is a huge oxymoron, it made the list. This is just to show you how stupid [no offense] these girls are. You see, they're talking out of both sides of their mouth. On the one hand they say that good guys don't make moves on them, but at the end of the day, neither do bad boys. In both cases the girl makes the first move and makes all the moves thereafter. You see the bad boy ignores the girl, which turns her on. So either they want to be ignored or they don't want to be ignored. They complain that the good guy is too shy and doesn't make a move, but then the bad boy doesn't make a move either.

Nice guys don't have money. This right here ... sigh. So the story is that bad boys, who probably just got through mugging someone, give the girls money occasionally and nice guys don't. Oh the nice guy pays for a meal, but he doesn't hand over wads of cash. Even if they girl knows where the bad boy got the money, they don't care. As long as they hand them the money, they don't care. They also think that bad boys have more potential to be rich some day, probably from watching how evil bastards do get rich in business.

Nice guys are creepy or stalk you. Although, this is by definition, not a good guy, this made the list. Girls think that being nice is so strange that it is creepy. A guy that smiles at you, laughs at your jokes, buys you a drink, is somehow interpreted as creepy. I chalk this up to girls just be schizo and not knowing what they want.

Nice guys don't know how stuff. I didn't go into details, but, apparently being a good guy automatically means that you do boring stuff and immediately fall asleep. Many, many girls said they want a bad boy behind closed doors. They tended to shy away from good guys on this very fact. Even if they truly wanted a nice guy, they turned him down because at the back of their mind, nice guys cannot handle behind closed doors.

Solution for Nice Guys

Don't Stop Being a Nice Guy

Well after that list, what can a nice guy do? It is my learned opinion, after viewing this entire list and going through all of the copious information I gathered for this scholarly article, that only one conclusion can be drawn from it:

NICE GUYS SHOULD ONLY DATE NICE GIRLS

And, there you have it. It is a peculiar type of woman that craves for a bad boy. I observed that only bad girls, in some form, want bad boys. They spoke of how they wanted some guy to be "open minded". This means to me that they themselves are lacking and therefore, they need someone who can deal with their lack. People say that women are emotional. Well, after asking this question and looking hundreds of girls right in the eye, I can safely say that, girls a emotional. I don't think emotional quite captures it.

Unattractive

So many girls are simply not taught by their mothers correctly of what the situation is in the dating scene. Even worse, the father doesn't even mention dating to his little girl. Sure some fathers go the opposite side of the road and try and scare the bejeezus out of the girl, telling her all sorts of horrific tales of how evil men are, but those aren't as common as those fathers who simply shut up and never mention anything. In their efforts to keep their little girl from being hurt, battered, bruised or left alone, they end up leaving them to fend for themselves. I mean, we're here to populate the planet. We cannot do that by burying our heads in the sand and pretending the opposite gender doesn't exist. So, we end up with a daughter that sits in a bar scared to death of some inevitable horror that will play out in her love life. The end result is that she is miserable and whoever she "dates" is equally miserable. Don't even get me started on those who got absolutely no heads up by their parents on dating, and thus went to MTV for their advice on how dating should be done. Hello, Tila Tequila. [I followed her on twitter for about a month. I just couldn't take how bad she is, and unfollowed her like a bad habit. But, you didn't hear that from me, cuz I ain't one to gossip.]

﻿

Speaking of sad, and the entire reason for this article, I see this tragedy play out all the time. Girl sits at the bar, blending in with the upholstery, sighing. Noone talks to her all night, and proceeds to go home and tell her pillow how there are "no good men left in the world." She has a sense that she shouldn't be a total skank, so she tries to play "hard to get". The problem is, she's not playing hard to get, she's playing hard to notice.

Let's be honest for a second. For all the women out there that only attract bad boyfriends, look in the mirror honey, you're bad. Like attracts like. With that said, being afraid of attracting some horrible guy is not something that just happens by chance. Sitting at a bar, hoping not to attract the "wrong" guy should not be your focus. You should doll yourself up, lose the weight and be confident that the "right" guy will be attracted to you.

You have no idea how many friend girls I hear complain about how they never meet anyone. I don't have the heart to tell them, it's them and not the guys. I have no idea who would be attracted to hair that has never seen conditioner, a roller nor a highlight. I have had grown women tell me there is no need for them to look attractive. Really? [Sigh]

Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to push the beauty industry down your throat but christ almighty, no moisturizer and broken straps are not something people need to see. No, don't go buy the entire stock of the make-up counter at Neiman Marcus, but don't look like a sad puppy.

Some girls and women need to stop being delusional that they are playing hard to get and realize they are playing hard to notice.

Palms Casino Owner George Maloof Jr. Gets Trial Date For DUI

George Maloof Jr.

by Jagajeet Chiba, Gambling911.com - Las Vegas casino magnate and Sacramento Kings co-owner George Maloof Jr. has a trial date for his DUI case. Maloof Jr. is the owner of the Palms Casino. On October 9 [2010] he was pulled over on suspicion of driving while under the influence just southwest of the Las Vegas Strip.

Maloof later told The Associated Press that he had four beers at a wedding and that his blood-alcohol level was measured at 0.086%.

Palms Owner George Maloof Arrested for DUI

by The Associated Press [LAS VEGAS] -- Palms Casino Resort owner George Maloof Jr. was arrested for drunken driving after being pulled over by police late Saturday night [October 9th, 2010].

George Maloof Jr. was arrested about 11:30 p.m. Saturday near Spanish Trail Country Club, where he lives, police said Monday. Maloof, 46, told The Associated Press he was driving home with his assistant from a friend's wedding at The Mirage hotel-casino about six miles away.

Maloof said the assistant asked him to drive. "I just didn't think I needed her to drive -- I should have had her drive -- because I didn't drink that much," said Maloof. He said he thought he was "nowhere near intoxicated" and would likely fight the arrest in court.

Maloof said he had four beers and his blood-alcohol level was measured at 0.086 percent. That's just over the legal limit in Nevada of 0.08 percent. He said he asked if he could go home but was told he would be arrested.

Police searched his car and his assistant's purse but found nothing else out of the ordinary, Maloof said. Police spokeswoman Barbara Morgan said Maloof was speeding 21 to 30 mph over the limit, made an illegal left turn and was driving without a valid license or proof of insurance.

Maloof said he didn't post bail and didn't want to call anyone, and was released from jail Sunday morning.

Maloof owns the resort with his brothers and sister. His family also owns the NBA's Sacramento Kings.

Nevada High Court Rejects Pot User's Driving Bid

Nevada "High" Court

RGJ.com By Martha Bellisle - A California woman who legally smoked marijuana in her home state and then drove across the Nevada state line with an "inactive" marijuana metabolite in her system still is guilty under the state's impaired driving law, the Nevada Supreme Court ruled.

Shira Garfinkel was convicted in Incline Justice Court of being over the legal limit of marijuana metabolite, which is the "inactive" substance the body produces to get ride of marijuana's active ingredient tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC.

Her lawyer, Deputy Public Defender Priscilla Nielson appealed, arguing that since the metabolite is an "inactive" substance, it "does not affect the person's ability to drive," and the law is unconstitutional.

Justices Nancy Saitta, Michael Cherry and Mark Gibbons disagreed.

In an unpublished decision, which means the ruling only applies to this case and does not set legal precedence, the justices said they already ruled in another case that the law appropriately applies to both marijuana's active ingredient and the metabolite, and they don't need to "revisit that decision."

They also dismissed Garfinkel's claims that the law "interferes with her right to travel" because she is a legal user of marijuana in California and Nevada's DUI law would keep her from crossing the state line.

The law does not prohibit her from traveling, the justices said, "it criminalizes her driving a motor vehicle through the state with prohibited substances in her blood and urine."

Nielson said she was "somewhat discouraged" with the ruling and that she has not yet decided if she'll ask the full court to review the case.

"I'm disappointed that they did not apply a legal analysis, they just looked at the bottom line of the Williams case," Nielson said.

Case details

Jessica Williams was convicted in 2002 of running over and killing six teenagers after smoking marijuana.

She appealed, and the high court affirmed her conviction, saying the law served two legitimate state interests: promoting highway safety and deterring the illicit use of drugs, Nielson said.

Nielson said that neither of those points apply in this case. The metabolite does not impact driving ability because it's inactive, and the drug use in this case was legal, she said.

According to William Anderson, chief toxicologist at the Washoe County crime lab, regular users of marijuana would have an almost continual level of metabolite in their systems.

Garfinkel was stopped for speeding on Tahoe Boulevard early in 2010 and charged with driving with a prohibited amount of a prohibited substance. She has a doctor-approved cannabis card that allows her to use the drug, under California law.

The courts

At her trial in Incline Village Justice Court, Judge Alan Tiras said she was not guilty of having THC in her system. Her test showed she had two nanograms of the THC, the legal limit.

But since the test is plus-or-minus 1 nanogram, he did not convict her. But he found her guilty of having the metabolite in her system. The test measured 20 nanograms of metabolite, and the legal limit is 5 nanograms.

She appealed to Washoe District Court, and Judge Robert Perry affirmed Tiras' ruling.

The next appeal took her argument to the Supreme Court, but the justices affirmed the conviction.

"Garfinkel's attempts to distinguish her case from Williams by arguing that in Williams this court grappled only with the prohibition on active marijuana and did not meaningfully analyze the constitutional implications of the prohibition of driving while carrying marijuana metabolite in the blood are unavailing," the ruling said.

In the Williams decision, the justices said, they "rejected the arguments of those who claimed that the law 'lacked a direct correlation between the prohibited drugs in a driver's system and impairment.'"

Conclusion

In this case clearly the justices did not even look at the law, nor he facts of the case. The intent of the law is to stop someone who is impaired from driving a very heavy, speeding vehicle that will do serious harm to someone else. In this case, there was no evidence of any potential harm coming to anyone since the substance in question was not the marijuana, but the bodies production of a substance which cleans out marijuana. It is like saying having bleach or bathroom cleaner is evidence there was illegal substances in your bathroom and therefore you're criminally liable.

Now, I don't mean to cast aspersions on a fine Nevada DUI Attorney, but how do you lose a case on these facts? Yes, the DUI attorney was looking for the court to declare the law unconstitutional, but it seems nearly a slam dunk. That last sentence makes assumption of the reader. I apologize and will correct that assumption now. The DUI attorney was looking for the Nevada Supreme Court to declare the law unconstitutional. It is my personal opinion that all courts and police are completely corrupt and run amuck of the constitution ad nauseum. There is almost no way that any court in the land would declare any law unconstitutional these days, UNLESS, it was so blatantly obvious that even the ignorant, unwashed masses could plainly see it was unconstitutional. It is the same reasoning we have a 2 billion dollar HIV industry. They haven't located actual HIV, but they can see antibodies to HIV. This is the same reasoning. There was no THC, the substance in marijuana that makes you high, but they found metabolite in her system, nor was she potentially dangerous while driving.

She's Just Not That Into You

While researching this topic, I perused many cute and anecdotal quips about modern relationships with women. None of them had anything to do with the modern woman and how, through bad parenting, a complete lack of social skills, no finishing schools to speak of, women have degraded to the point where you have to weed out the scrubs. If you're chasing some woman and find it hard to get a date with her, you might want to step back and review who exactly you're trying to chase. I have come up with 10 things to prove she's not into you. But, my list also prove she might actually be on the down low to begin with and is just trying to play a role to the public so noone gets suspicious. Let's face it, being a lesbian is not accepted by everyone, regardless of what you see on MTV or t.v. in general. The reality is, homosexuality is not a universally accepted way of life, in the real world. Yes, I know it must hurt some people's feelings for someone to say that out loud, but we're all adults here, or should be. I write some pretty boring crap. I hope no child would read this material. In other words, you could be barking up the wrong tree altogether and don't even know it. Then, when you fail to get the girl, you beat yourself up, thinking you did something wrong.

This is the general consensus of the "... is just not into you," lists that are floating around. They all say, somehow it is your fault the other person isn't into you. Trust me when I say, anyone, can get anyone, given the right time and opportunity. You could be smelly, old, young, fat, ugly and speak bad English, and still land a super model. I've seen it. I've arranged it. Nuff said!

She's Just Not That Into You List

She's Just Not That Into You

10. When introduced, she failed to mention her name - this should be a huge warning sign. Also this should prove to you that, this person has a lot to hide. It is not enough that fake women give fake names and fake numbers, but if a woman doesn't mention her name at all, that's a whole other ball of wax. Unless she's working for the CIA and is deep deep deep undercover, she should give you her name when you are politely shaking her hand and telling her yours.

9. She leaves without saying goodbye or nice to meet you - this is classic douchebag mentality. Having no home training isn't cute, but it could be a warning sign that she is ducking out, and not simply forgetting to be polite. It would be one thing to be in a long term relationship and be overbearing and need to know where she is all the time. But, if you just met her and she's ducking out, that's a sign to forget all about her. At best she has no manners. At worst, she intentionally did it. For every douchebag female you meet, there are two sweet and polite ones just wishing to meet you.

8. She refuses any and all drink offers from you - this shows that she is most likely paranoid, and you don't need that sort of baggage. If any girl refuses a drink from you, in general, you should just move on at that point, regardless of how long you've been talking to her. At the very least she's telling you that she is not interested in a relationship with you and at the worst, she's a paranoid schizophrenic and might be an axe murderer. Run! If you are sitting with friends and buying them drinks and she refuses, you might want to ask her to leave, or get your friends to move to another spot with you.

7. She accepts drinks from you, but says nothing to you - really? Are you that dumb? GTFO. If you buy even one drink for her, or even give her a piece of gum and she doesn't at least pretend to laugh at your corny jokes, it's time for you to get away from her.

6. You just met her and she asks you for something - really? In this day and age of women's "lib", no woman should ask a man for anything she cannot get by her self. If you just meet her and she's asking for something, she's a moocher. If she asks, even for a drink, at a bar, run don't walk, away from her. She's a user. Or worse, she thinks she can use you.

5. She always shows up with a friend - it doesn't matter if it's a guy or a girl, a permanent friend, means she needs a chaperon when she's around you. This does not send off warning signs, per se, but it could mean something a bit deeper. If she shows up with the same friend all the time, it could mean that "friend" is hers and not just a friend. You have to read the warning signs carefully. Stop listening to what people say, "oh she's just a girl friend." See what is going on in front of you. She is a "girlfriend".

4. Noone ever knows where she is - it might not just be you she doesn't call or hang out with, her own friends might not have a clue what is going on with her. This happens a lot. The friends could be a warning sign that she's unwelcome. She might not ever be around because her own "friends" do not want her to be. They might simply be pretending that they don't know where she is, when the truth is that, they never call her. Or, they could know she hangs out with her "friend" and know not to call her, nor speak about it. Again, this is one of those, pay attention to what is going on around you.

3. She looks like a 13 year old boy - this might be just too obvious, but I think some guys do not know. You cannot know what you don't know. If the girl has a high and tight, wears plaid, and boots are all steel toes, this should be a huge warning sign to you. She seriously, not into to you... Hell, she's not into you nor your "kind", and, never will be. My only regret is that my lesbian friends cannot refurbish an engine. I really got the short end of the stick. No benefit anywhere :( [yup i got jokes]

2. She tells you, that she's a lesbian - again this might seem obvious to most people, but there are guys out there that think this is an actual pickup line. Let's explore where this confusion comes from. My lesbian representative informed me that girl on girl "movies" are not actual "women's" "movies", but the sick and twisted fantasies of some poor schlep who had the good fortune to be able to produce his own fantasy on-screen. So let's fast forward to #2. The girl tells the guy she's a lesbian and he reverts back to this "movie" that he saw with girl on girl action. He then interprets it to mean his new found lesbian is in fact a fantasy girl and girl representative, in the flesh, come to show him a wild night out. Now #2 doesn't seem so far fetched anymore, when I explain it. Some people are just that confused.

1. She threatens you with bodily harm - this should be the number 1 sign that a girl is just not that into you.

Remember, all that glitters is not gold. Yes some girls play hard to get. Some girls play games with guys, just to test them. To that, I say leave them in the dust. If a girl feels she has to test you, then you should ditch her as soon as possible. Why? Because she's drama. You do not need drama. There is someone better looking, richer, can cook and drama free and is just waiting for you to come along. Drop the elementary school chick and get with a real lady.

Female Heroes in Movies Are Dumb

Man with Zweihander

Don't call me a woman hater or something stupid like that, but when I sit down to watch a period piece, i.e. movie set in a specific date in history, and the hero of the story is a woman, I know it is time to walk out of the movie. Am I against women? No! I kinda prefer women; wink wink; nudge nudge. But, having a woman jump thirty feet, kick ten guys, while punching five others and then body slamming two, is a bit much for my whole "reality-embedded" brain to handle. Don't get me wrong. I am all for equal pay for women. I am all for sharing of household responsibilities. But, I am not going to divest my brain of all sanity and reason for 90 minutes just for the off chance, some obscure lesbian somewhere will get a kick out of watching a brainless bimbo do super heroic feats of strength by taking down 20 men twice her size and weight, in a single punch. That might be great for that chick, but don't expect me to buy into it.

What's worse is, what message does this send to idiot chicks who think this is reality. And, if you think I am joking around, let me tell you a story.

A chick came to my apartment once, when I was living with two other guys, and she proceeded to manhandle my roommate. My roommate, being Latino, felt it his duty to allow her to thrash, not only, him, but our entire living room. She proceeded to body slam him into shelves, desks, books and the t.v. Well, I being the Capricorn and believer in equality that I am, grabbed her with 2 fingers, by the scruff of her neck and literally tossed her out of our apartment. I then grabbed the two 90 lb guys that came in with her and told all of them, that they would never set foot in the apartment, as long as I lived there, ever again. I think closed and locked the front door; told my roommates to clean up the front room; and went to bed. I forgot to mention, I was completely naked except for a blanket I was holding around me with one hand, so this all took place with me doing this one-handed.

So let's get back to these movies. The person watching a movie is expected to identify with the hero of a story, somehow. When it is a man, male viewers put themselves in the place of the hero, and women put themselves in the place of the damsel in distress. When it is a female... noone identifies with her. To this day, men still want to be heroes and women still want their knight in shining armor to come save them.

The reality is chicks cannot wield two handed swords. Let's take a look at a two handed sword. The epitome of two handed swords, at least in Europe was that Zweihänder. It weighed up to 16lbs and was up to 6 feet in length.

Guards could be plain or ornate, while hilts usually ended with heart or pear shaped heavy pommels. Occasionally a blunted portion of the forte, the ricasso or Fehlschärfe (meaning “missing sharpness”) at the base of the blade allowed a hand to be placed below the lower guard to “shorten the grip” and make the handle like a polearm. This allowed the user to crudely repel a cavalry charge. The swords have hilt-mounted side-rings and enlarged cross-guards of up to 35 cm (14 in) across. Along the blade, some 10–20 cm (4–8 in) from the upper guard, Parierhaken (“parrying hooks”) shaped like lugs or flanges acted as a guard for the ricasso to prevent other weapons from sliding down the blade. - wikipedia

Let's see how a real man used the two handed sword:

Perhaps the best known user of a Zweihänder was Pier Gerlofs Donia who is reputed to have wielded it with such skill, strength and efficiency that he managed to behead multiple people with it in a single blow. The Zweihänder ascribed to him is, as of 2008, on display in the Frisian museum. It has a length of 213 cm (84 in) and a weight of about 6.6 kg (14½ lb). - wikipedia

So, a man used a 7 foot sword that weighed 14 1/2 pounds. Excluding a few freaks of nature, for the most part, women cannot even hold that sword, even today's much larger woman. Remember we are talking about humans that lived about 400 years ago, and they were not 5'8. The women definitely weren't.

The Zweihander was Monstrous

So, what is hollywood trying to push when it makes women wield two handed swords, slide down banisters and kill 30 men? Well, the answer is simple. It's a male fantasy porno. Mind, you, it's not mine. I don't do porno.

Stop Putting Sex Scenes in My Sci-Fi

Buzz Megachip, readied his phaser, peaked around the corner of the Martaplex employee lounge and found Sarah Bimbolucious. For the next 5 minutes of the movie a sex scene ensues. Now for the average non-sci-fi noob, this would seem like a normal scene. Gotta have a sex scene in a "movie". That might be true, except the "movie" is called "Buzz Megachip and the 3rd Quadrant", a pure nerd-fest sci-fi flick. The people that would be attracted to this movie are disgusted at the complete unnecessary scene that is in them.

Now, let us go over why it is a bad thing to have porn in a sci-fi.

it has been shown time and again, that sex scenes in certain film genres, are unnecessary

you have to pay extra for the "sex" scene

you then have to get people to write the "sex" scene

people who write "sex" scenes are not super nerd friendly sci-fi screen writers

there is little to no sci-fi story

the studio is concerned with putting butts into the seats and not nerd butts into audience seats

instead of pandering to the very crowd that made a particular series popular, they try to reach for a larger audience that has never even heard of Buzz Megachip, and usually alienates the very people that made the particular title popular

Yes that means that Buzz Megachip is completely short changed on the entire sci-fi story. All these riveting "that was not cannon Buzz Megachip storyline" conversations and nerd arguments are not going to take place, after watching the movie.

Of course there is no Buzz Megachip, but this applies to all sci-fi. In an effort to get everyone to see a movie, hollywood studios try to pander to everyone's interests. This is the very same argument against being politically correct. Instead of actually defining something, they make it so general that noone likes it, or worse, everyone hates it.

Honor and Parents

Oh, Let's Also Include...

What if I told you that there are things in the bible that were put in by people who intended, not for you to serve a god, but for you to serve man? I bet many of you would have a really hard time believing me. But, of those who do not believe me, what if I asked you, how many of you have looked into where each and every book, chapter and verse came from in the bible? I bet none, who would disagree with me, have questioned the very existence of the bible itself. Twenty years ago I had an epiphany, the bible was not true, not from god, but from man. Then in my seeking where the bible came from, I found a very ugly fact. The bible was written to keep poor people in place and not to question the authority of the government nor the ruling class.

For everything said about Jewish people, they seem to act the exact opposite way all other Judeo / Christian religions act. They do not go out and recruit members. They try to make sure you do not want to join their religion. They treat their religion as a way of life, instead of a religion. They do not bow down to an earthly government or ruler. Where Christians constantly emphasize that you should pay your debts and bow down to an earthly ruler, because he obviously was put their by a god, the Jewish religion teaches that owing debt is a sin and that bowing down to a ruler is a terrible thing. Where Christians teach you should listen to your elders and do what they say, the Jewish religion discusses the independence of an entire group of people.

Let us look at one of those submissive versus, often fondly quoted by parents to their children:

"Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged," Colossians 3:20-21

It is utter hogwash and nothing more than indoctrinating a slave mentality. The translation is that you should obey your parents, and by proxy, when you grow up, obey your government. [note I am not saying overthrow your government, nor become an terrorist] And, it was put their by English nobility to keep the peasants and slaves in check. If you obeyed your peasant father and mother or your slave father and mother, then you would never question the authority of the nobility to rule over you. Even today, people think it is fine to go into debt and not question the entire economic system. It is what your parents did and their parents did. If we consistently obey our parents and do not question their authority then we would never ask of our government the hard questions of why our parents are in the position that they are in.

My roommate is a god's honest globalist. He literally believes that the government will take care of us. He literally believes that a one world government would be the best possible scenario for humanity. He literally believes that being "American" is meaningless and personal freedom is not needed. He feels perfectly at home with the government coming into his house, ransacking the place, taking what they want and arrest whom they please.

How could such a person exist, you might ask? His father was a military person. He was taught he should unquestioningly obey his parents. He was shown that the government takes care of everything. What is truly shocking is that his mother and father do not even like him. Both liked his brother and sister moreso than him, due to their traditional activities, i.e. the brother was a jock and the girl was into the arts. The brother and sister were the perfect children and my roommate was the odd-ball, quiet computer nerd. Even given this fact, he was the first and only child in the family to sign up for the military, the marines.

I do not mean to tell you my roommates story, but to point out how twisted a mind can be if they fall prey to this propaganda set forth by nobles long dead. What better place to put something than in the bible? Let's tell people they are evil and bad if they do not obey what the bible says, and then rewrite the bible to tell them to obey the nobles. Let's tell the people that the nobility came from god and you should therefore obey everything they say.

I challenge you to question everything you read, even the bible. Just because your parents forced you to go to church does not mean what is said is true. If your parents do not know, then surely you do not know. Has your mother or father ever sat down and discussed what was said at the Council of Trent?

The holy, ecumenical and general Council of Trent, lawfully assembled in the Holy Ghost, the same three legates of the Apostolic See presiding, keeps this constantly in view, namely, that the purity of the Gospel may be preserved in the Church after the errors have been removed.

Council of Trent 1546

That's right, ladies and gentlemen, your bible has been tampered with and edited to fit what some old white guys thought were errors in the "holy bible."

Being a Friend

Best Friends Forever

It seems everyone has an opinion of what they want as a best friend or a "friend". You'll notice that when it comes out of a guy's mouth, no woman can be a guy's friend. Yet, it is not a requirement to be a friend to get married to a guy. Also, a lot of women say they cannot be a friend to another woman. I don't know where this division in sisterhood started, but it does not have to be so. Well I am here to set the record straight, either way. It does not have to be a sordid affair or an illicit relationship.

Shakaama's List of How to Be a Friend

Dominant Personalities with Submissive Personalities - not to sound all technical about it, but it is inevitable that a dominant person will run into a submissive person. For everyone involved, this is the worse possible scenario, to befriend someone that is dominant to your submissiveness. Point blank, if you are submissive to someone else, you are not equally friends, and you need to get rid of that relationship. No matter how much candy that person gives you, you should not be "friends" with someone that dominates you. The first rule of friendship is that it is an equal partnership. If you are a laid back individual, then you need to go seek out other laid back individuals.

Familiarity Breeds Contempt - Friendship is all about choice. You shouldn't be friends with someone because you work side by side. You shouldn't be friends with someone because they go to the same church. You shouldn't be friends with someone because they hang out at the same bar as you do. All of these scenarios have one thing in common, forced communalism. You are simply friends with them because of a choice you made to be in a place, over and over. Being in one place constantly, does not constitute the germination of friendship. You did not come to work because of that person. You did not attend church because of that person. You did not go to a nightclub because of that person. Do not befriend someone, simply because they are located in a place that you frequent. This simply gives a false sense of familiarity. Do not get me wrong. You can meet people in places that you frequent, but do not feel obligated to be friends with someone simply because you see them often in the same place. The reason I say this is because, you have no choice of what type of personality you will find in these places. You are getting all of their baggage without benefit of some sort of filtration system.

Choose Your Friends - filtering out potential baggage is the best possible start of a friendship that you can do. And, to do this you would start by joining an activity or club that someone you would want to meet, would frequent. To do this, you should have a list of choices of what you would want in a friend:

how much money do they make

how much education do they have

do they or do they not do drugs

are they conservative

are they communist

are they socialist

are they globalist

are they corporatist

do they have children

are they single

did they go to your college

are they a jock

are they a nerd

are they earthy granola hippies

do they send christmas cards

do they remember birthdays

do they remember your and your kid's names

are they thoughtful

Your list could be as specific as you want it to be. Contrary to popular belief, making a concerted effort to go after a friendship based on your own conscience criteria is not something "evil". You choose who you want to surround yourself with. It is your life.

Arguing with Friends - It is the mature person that can be friends with someone that does not agree with everything he believes in. Your friends should not be submissive to you, nor you to them. They should not agree to everything you say and visa versa. On that very note, if you or they get upset, it should not be the end of the friendship. So many people have some unspoken rule in the back of their mind that if anyone ever disagrees with them, then that person is not a true friend of theirs, and therefore should not be their friend. This, in a word, is childish, by definition. You can get angry with your friend. Your friend can get angry with you. They can disagree with you and you with them. The adult does not take his ball and go home. The adult listens to what he has to say, then voices his own opinion, then agrees to disagree if you cannot reach a consensus.

Taking it to Heart - If you or your friend takes everything said, to heart, and thereby gets offended, then you are friends with the wrong person. Such a person is being submissive to a dominant personality. If you are taking everything that someone says, to heart, then you are looking for their approval and not their friendship. The very same thing can be said about any type of relationship you have with a person: parent / child; lovers; siblings. You need to divest yourself of such a relationship. If you are taking everything that your parent, lover or sibling says, to heart, then you simply need to stop talking to that person, for good. It is not healthy.

I hate to sound so cut and dry, but people are suffering from terrible personalities and for absolutely no reason other than their parent did not sit them down and teach them how to interact with other people. Maybe their parent fail at such things. Most parents do, especially poor ones. There is no need for you to torture yourself by being submissive to anyone else's personality, including your own family.

You are the most important person on the planet. You have to watch out for your own sanity and health. So many people are unhealthy from outside stress and they do not realize that it is due to the relationships they have. Their stomachs are all tied up in knots, over something someone close to them said, but go to the doctor and forget about it. When the doctor tells them to reduce stress, they try to adjust their diet, or take long baths, yet call that very person on the phone that stresses them out and keeps them in their life.

No other person on the planet is so precious that you cannot do without them, if they are unhealthy to you.

Friends Before Lovers - Everyone talks about love [and by love I mean lust], but noone talks about friendship. I say, before you are lovers, you should be friends. You should marry your best friend. A friend can argue with you, laugh with you, call you, pick up your spirits, cry on your shoulder and just sit with you while you read a book or the paper. This is what a wife should do. This is what a husband should do. People go about getting married backwards, i.e. be lovers first then try and grow into a friendship.

You should seek out a friend, before seeking out a lover. You should have ten girl friends, instead of ten girl-friends. Then, you can choose which girl friend you would like to marry, and visa versa. If your girl-friend is financially ruinous to you, and you go about it the normal way, and not my way, you are ruined for life. If you go the way I suggest, you would already know that the girl is bad news with money, and you'd just keep her as a friend and nothing more. However, the current way of doing things, you date someone and proceed to marry them, before you discover what a terrible friend they are for you, after the fact.

You want to hedge your bets against getting a divorce? Befriend a lady before dating her. This might seem counterintuitive to getting a mate. The adult does not hand out, "Do you like me? X yes X no" cards. First, make your friendship list rules, go find friends that fit into those rules and make sure some of them are of the opposite gender. Then, when you have determined that one of the women are up to your standards, start dating her. If she can argue with you, laugh with you, call you, pick up your spirits, cry on your shoulder and just sit with you while you read a book or the paper, then getting married to her should, almost be, a sure bet that you would never get a divorce.

U.S. Foreign Policy and Military Democracy

Noone can say that America is not without complete understanding of the minds of foreign countries. The presidency has always been the bastion of democracy on the planet. Only the most forthright and intellectual individual is ever elected to the highest office of the land, sometimes repeatedly. If noone else is qualified for the job of President of the World, I mean, of the United States, then it is the duty of those whore are most qualified, eloquent of speech, of good moral character, and of sound reason to be reelected, by a generous and politically savvy constituency.

Militarily speaking, only the most moral of reason has the U.S. ever used its military forces around the globe. And, we only use our military with the utmost economic efficiency. Any officer in the military that has one iota of conscience will forthwith inform his superior officers, or even the presidency, that they will not be used in any manner that is not 100% in a purely defensive matter to protect U.S. soil. Ours is the shining example of how a military should be run. Our troops wash their own clothes, engineer their own weapons and do every possible thing, in-house, to keep our military running at peak efficiency. Of course they have to, because it is how tax payer dollars should be spent. Our military can hold their head high and say they would never be used for any sordid economic use. Our military stands ready to defend us from any foreign invaders.

It is simply amazing how many countries clamor to beg that we come and demonstrate to them how democracy can be practiced in their country. It is the only reason, and a fantastic one at that, that we send our troops to ensure the safety of our instructors of democracy. It is a small price to pay, but every American proudly pays taxes to aid our military being used in such a manner. And, those instructors of democracy have their hands full. It is very hard, sometimes, to get a good interpreter in those countries, since they sometimes don't speak English over there.

Yes, U.S. foreign policy is so moral and right. After all, the country was founded by good Christian men, none of whom touched whine, women nor owned slaves. We can put our full faith and trust in such men to come up with a system, that we still adhere to, to the letter, to this very day. To that end, we have sent so many diplomats overseas, to help those poor countries write just such a constitution for themselves.

Congresswoman Still Sedated After Gunman's Attack

By PAULINE ARRILLAGA, Associated Press TUCSON, Ariz. – Rep. Gabrielle Giffords remained heavily sedated and in critical condition Sunday as investigators sought to understand what motivated a gunman to carry out an assassination attempt on the Democratic lawmaker in a rampage that killed six people.

University Medical Center spokeswoman Darci Slaten told The Associated Press that Giffords underwent a two-hour surgery Saturday and has not been conscious since the shooting. She said more information will be released at a news conference in which one of the doctors who operated on Giffords plans to speak.

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords

Outside of the hospital, candles flickered at a makeshift memorial. Signs read "Peace + love are stronger," "God bless America and "We love you, Gabrielle." People also laid down bouquets of flowers, American flags and pictures of Giffords.

Is There More Bill Than Paycheck?

More Bill Than Paycheck

All jokes aside, if the answer is yes, without you even looking at your checkbook, then you need to get out of the house you're in and move back with your family. And, I am not kidding. Black folks pay the highest in the country, for basic housing than any other racial group.* While everyone else likes to talk about stupid stuff, the numbers do not lie. In my Black Financial New Years Resolution I discussed a plan to save money and buy rental property for yourself and your family, to generate cash flow.

America has just had a tremendous wake-up call. The call said, "hello you're living above your means, it's time to pay up." And pay up everyone has. Even the people that could afford their houses have suffered, in being upside down in their house. They are only staying in them out of hopes that their property will go back up. The bottom line is, we all fell for a pipe dream from a snake-oil salesman.

are you saving at least 30% of your salary, or investing it in something monthly?

do you have around 30% of disposable income, from which you buy food and clothing?

If those numbers do not add up then you're living above your means. If at least number 1 isn't true, then you are definitely living above your means.

Fix it. You need to fix #1 immediately. If you are renting, get out of it ASAP. If you have to pay for an early termination of a contract and it won't be the same as paying all of the months of the contract, then get out of the contract. Either move somewhere where the housing is only 20% of your income, or move back home. You need to put aside this notion that going into debt to live alone means you're somehow an adult. This "I got mine, you get yours" attitude is why we're in this mess to begin with.

In this financial crisis, more Black wealth has been completely gutted and stolen by banks than in any other time in history. While white people hear the news and think white people are suffering, whole sections of the Black population has been ousted, foreclosed on and assets seized. In Memphis alone the Black part of town is now a ghost town due to foreclosures. Predatory lending to Black folks was turned into an art form.

Before Black people buy a house, they should get a Black lawyer and go over the proposed loans with them. If you want my personal opinion, you should pay cash for your house and try and squeeze every discount you can out of the property before buying it. Never get emotionally attached to property. More wealth has been squandered due to emotional outbursts and attachments to a piece of land than any other factor. Once someone figures out that you care for a piece of land, they tend to rake you over the coals. Trust me, there is nothing special about one section of land, more than another section of land, especially if we are talking that it will ruin you financially.

My Financial Suggestions for Negros in 2011

Hello brothers and sisters! Happy new year. I hope you sat down at your desk and mapped out your year and planned everything you would "like" to do this year. But, what about what you would like to financially achieve this year? Very often Black folks, or even Americans in general, do not sit down at the beginning of a year and plan ahead for their finances. Trust me on this one when I say, when you write it down, just the act alone, seems to help you achieve it. I am always harping on what Black folks won't do. So I like to put my money where my mouth is, and we'll go through this together and suggest what ought to be done. Ever hear of a Black leader that does that? They're so quick to tell you what shouldn't be done. Black preachers climb the pulpit every Sunday and tell you what you can't do. Black "leaders", a.k.a. NAACP wannabes, delight in telling you how you've been wronged. But, not a damn one of them empower us. Not a damn one of them tell us what we can do.

I don't think Black people have financial education. I am no Warren Buffet but I will share with you some financial ideas that I think even the most financially uneducated brother or sister can not only understand, but financially do.

This Year's Financial Planning for Black People

I am going to tell you some things that might seem counter to what all the financial gurus are talking about. But, what you don't know is most of those financial gurus are not talking to you. They are talking to people who have $150,000 saved in the bank. Do you know the average social security retiree has a whopping $50,000 saved in their social 401k plan? There is no way they can retire off of that. So all these speeches about what you should do with your money does not apply to you. [and me] We do not have the basic of the basic already sorted out, have at least $50,000 in savings alone. So if I say something that doesn't jive with what your financial hero is telling you, understand that your financial hero makes about $300,000 a year and think everyone has $50,000 saved in the bank ALREADY.

The Easy Way to Save

Before you can save you have to get your spending under control. If you go to a store more than twice a month, you are out of control. That is including groceries. Basically the idea is that most Americans are living waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay above their means. They are shopping non-stop. They are paying for things they do not need.

There are far more rich people that lived below their means and saved up, than there are that wandered into a pot of gold. There are far more rich people that were stingy with their money than those that had riches fall in their lap. Being wealthy takes planning and commitment. Don't be afraid of the word wealthy either. I consider wealthy to also cover how great your family is, spiritually. Oh and by the way, these days having one million dollars is not considered rich anymore.

Now, all the financial gurus tell you that saving your money works against you. The Federal Reserve Bank prints a cool $50 million a day. That's right! A Day! That means the $50 you put in your bank every paycheck by the time you walk out the door, is really only worth about $45. Just that fast inflation is eating your money. Now couple that with the fact of capital gains tax, which is %15 off of what you make in a savings account. Right now across the land it's a bleak 1% OR LESS. So if inflation of 5% and an additional 15% don't get you, your own spending will get you.

So why am I even discussing savings? Because you have to have a foundation before you can anything with money. You cannot talk about sound investing if you have no money to invest. You do know that, at a minimum people are talking about having $20,000 or $30,000, when they are discussing investing. And, they expect you to have that saved by age 26 or so. So if you don't have that, all of that discussion doesn't even apply to you.

I asked my bank if my account was terrible, two different banks told me that 90% of their account holders did not have enough in their account to buy an expensive meal.

So what can we do to save money? There is a financial term called a DRIP program. It stands for dividend reinvestment program. It means that you buy into the direct shares of a company, below the minimum of what a normal investor would have to pay, about $1,000. Your buy in is then kept by the company and as your little money stays, they pay you an exact portion of what you make off of your "stock", when they pay out dividends. However, instead of you getting the money, for your tiny portion, the company reinvests the money to buy you more stocks. So, for instance, if you were to buy into the Proctor & Gamble DRIP program with $500, come time for them to pay out dividends, they take the $5 you earned and buy you more stock. So you end up with $505 worth of stock in the company. Over a long period of time, you might end up with 20,000 shares from just a tiny amount.

My suggestion is for you to apply the same principle to yourself and your savings account. Most people put all of their money into their checking account so they can pay off bills and such, or buy groceries. That is fine. As long as you keep an up-to-date checkbook you will never go into the hole. Setup your own DRIP program from your checking account, to your savings account. Unless your bank is in the stone age, you can go online and do this.

Setup a daily or weekly transfer from your checking account to your savings account. Now the amount is going to be the big question. Put too little in and reaching $30,000 will take forever. Put too much in, and unless you are really in control of your spending, you might run the risk of getting in trouble. In trouble because the savings account is to be treated as if it is untouchable. Under no circumstances can you take out money from your savings account. That is the whole point of it being a "savings" account.

Think of it in terms of how much you are personally worth every day. Let's say you make $100 a day. Of that $100 how much goes to direct, unquestionable, expenses, i.e. rent, power, water, gasoline / transportation? Now remember this is daily. Let's say $50 a day covers all your expenses. Then you might have $20 in questionable expenses, i.e. cell phone bills. That leaves you with $30 a day to play around with. Let's say you put that into your savings account, which gives you 1% interest:

$210 a week or $30 a day

1% interest rate

compounded monthly

That comes out to be $114,855.00 after 10 years.

Let's say you only put in $10 a day, at 1% interest into a savings account

$70 a week or $10 a day

1% interest rate

compounded monthly

That comes out to be $38, 285.00 after 10 years.

You can see right off that aggressively saving is going to get you there faster. If your goal is to get to $30,000 it would take you 3 years if you only saved $30 a day or $210 a week at 1% interest. To get to $30,000 in one year at 1% interest rate you would have to save $80 a day.

Now most black folk only think of themselves, by themselves. Let's think outside the box right quick. Imagine that your entire family contributed to the savings account. You could probably easily save $80 a day, or more. If you consolidated your families expenses by moving together and sharing the expenses, you could probably cut everyone's expenses in half. Yes, I am talking about your grown children moving home, or you moving in with your grown children. Outside of the U.S. people live with their extended family under the same roof, quite frequently. And, before you start going down the path thinking I'm talking about some poor 3rd world country, I am talking about Europe, very wealthy countries. Only Americans consider it their duty to move out and double their expenses, like idiots. Or worse, get into a house that takes away more than 30% of their salary. You do know that mortgage lenders do not want to lend you any money if all of your monthly debts exceed 36%. That includes house note, car note, cell phone bill, power, water, garbage, property taxes, gas bill. So if you made $100 a day, you better not have more than $36 a day in total bills. That is $1080 a month in bills. If you are paying more than that, in total bills, you are living WELLLLL above your means, i.e. you're broke.

What Can I Do With Thirty-Thousand Dollars in One Year?

So we are going to save this $30,000 this year. The next question is, what do i do with it? No we are not going to spend it all. We are going to go into business for our selves / family. Of all the business ventures you could go into, real estate is still the safest to get into. With $30,000 you can leverage yourself into most single family properties, that you are going to rent out to someone.

So the plan is to get into a nice single family home and rent it out for "cash flow". First you have to prepare yourself. Buy every real estate book you can get your hand on. Keep in mind, no one book is going to have all the answers. Even text book real estate books, do not have all the answers.

Next, become an expert in accounting. Read everything you can on accounting. If you do not know about money, you will never keep money. Understand that accounting is only going to tell you how money is tabulated. However, it is a basic principle that is unquestionably necessary to learn. Every Black person in America should know accounting to the advanced level.

Next, comes understanding taxes. Every Black person in America should learn taxes inside and out. So many Black people are raped by the federal, state and local government through taxes, it isn't even funny. And, I used the word rape literally. Black folks pay, per capita, the highest taxes of any other racial group and yet have the lowest median household income in the entire nation.* There has got to be an end to it. Know your taxes. Take advantage of tax shelters and tax deductions. Your children are your biggest way to save yourself from taxes. While you keep pushing them away and telling them stupid crap like, "man up" and move out the house, you're killing yourself with taxes. Idiot! Stupid is, as stupid does. Black folks shoot themselves in the foot, face and head all day long and then turn around and wonder why they're in the state that they're in.

I suggest you print this article out and sit down at your desk and plan out your year:

learn everything about real estate

learn everything about accounting

learn everything about taxes

save $30,000 this year

Now that sounds like a financial new year's resolution that you can achieve.

Chuck Berry Collapses On-Stage

Chuck Berry, Black Rock-n-Roll Legend, 84 years old, was performing on-stage at the Concert Theater and Collapsed 3 times. He had to be escorted off-stage and was seen by an attending physician. Each time, however, instead of leaving he popped right back on-stage to continue performing. The last time he announced that he was leaving, but not before doing his signature "scoot-step".

The promoter of the event told the Chicago Tribune, "Obviously, something was off ... Fifteen minutes into the set it went from fine to something wasn't right. He was starting songs mid-song, playing 15 seconds of a song."

As is his style, instead of proceeding to a hospital, the rock-n-roll legend simply got into a limousine and was taken to his mansion.

Defense for Michael Jackson's Doctor Claims MJ Committed Suicide

The Only Black International Mega-Star Michael Jackson

In a last ditch effort to obfuscate the truth, the lawyers for the doctor that murdered world pop icon, Michael Jackson, claim that the mega-entertainer killed himself within the space of a 120 second absence from his doctor. The statement by Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney David Walgren came at a hearing Wednesday where a lawyer for Dr. Conrad Murray clashed with the prosecutor over who should test residue from two syringes found in Jackson's bedroom. Walgren suggested the defense will claim Jackson killed himself by injecting more of the drug into himself. The case's preliminary hearing begins January 4.

Dr. Conrad Murray’s defense plans to show that MJ was in a weakened state during previous the tours “Bad” and “Dangerous” and required a doctor to accompany him during the rehearsals and tours. Apparently people say Jackson was frequently “dehydrated, medicated, and sleep-deprived.”

The defense's argument is that MJ became very dependent on sleep inducing drugs at these times and since the final “This Is It” tour had dozens of dates added, Michael was under immense pressure and really afraid that he would fail and let his fans down.

The Murderer Dr. Conrad Murray

This is equivalent to the defense claiming that Michael Jackson committed suicide, either intentionally or accidentally. If Doc Murray procured, prepared, and left available Propofol for Michael to take a fatal dose then Murray is as guilty as if he gave it to Michael himself.

The problem with this is that Propofol is not to be administered:

outside of a controled environment by a hospital

outside of the presence of an anesthesiologist present

The fact that the drug was administered outside a hospital or health-care facility is “mind-boggling,” says Dr. Kenneth Elmassian, a cardiac anesthesiologist at Michigan Regional Medical Center. “You can’t go to a pharmacist, hand a prescription over and get the drug,” he says. At the same time, he adds that any licensed physician can give the medication—though the American Society of Anesthesiologists (of which he is a board member), doesn’t recommend that doctors not trained in anesthesiology do so, because the drug is extremely dangerous.

The drug is just that deadly, IN THE EXACT WORDS OF THE MANUFACTURER. The fact that Doc Murray clearly allowed and supported Michael’s use of Propofol, by definition, makes the doctor a murderer. They also claim that MJ was "addicted" to sleep medications, namely Propofol. What is not being said is that the only way MJ could have "acquired" this addiction is via the good doctor, since only a doctor can acquire Propofol.

One in five academic anesthesiology training programs reported at least one case of abuse by physicians or other healthcare workers over the past decade, new research shows. The incidence of propofol abuse has risen fivefold over the last 10 years.

Propofol abuse shatters careers and lives—and worse. Only a few cc’s more than what’s required to put a person to sleep can trigger fatal respiratory arrest. That threat is an insufficient deterrent for determined users; 40% of residents who reportedly abused the anesthetic died from the high—the peril of propofol’s exquisitely narrow therapeutic window.

“That’s the drive to use this drug. It’s amazing,” said Paul Wischmeyer, MD, an anesthesiologist at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Denver. “People who have abused propofol say it’s pretty much their first-choice drug every time.”

Because propofol is such a short-acting substance, heavy abusers must inject it frequently to stay high—as many as 50 to 100 times during a using session is not unheard of, he said. Access to the drug is not a problem, as propofol is among the most widely used anesthetic agents in both hospitals and, increasingly, office settings. “It’s everywhere,” Dr. Wischmeyer said. - by Adam Marcus

Notice 40% of Propofol abusers die from the drug, and we're talking professionals who are killing themselves.

“Propofol is a medication that was invented 20 to 25 years ago for anesthesia. It’s what we call a sedative hypnotic. It puts you to sleep; it makes you forget things,” says Dr. David Kloth, past president of American Society of Interventionism Pain Physicians and current president of Connecticut Pain Society.

“It does not cause stage 4 REM sleep,” Kloth says. “Michael Jackson was unfortunately either misinformed or misunderstood ... He would actually wake unrested, because the brain did not enter the appropriate stage of sleep.”

But from the same mouth comes a condemnation that puts aside all defenses of whether or not Michael Jackson administered himself a dose or not:

The consequences for the doctor who provided Jackson with the drug are dire. According to The Associated Press, Dr. Conrad Murray allegedly admitted to police that he set Jackson up with the IV, and Kloth thinks charges of manslaughter are not inappropriate if it turns out Jackson was improperly supervised while on profonol.

"You have given him the bullet, which he shot himself with," Kloth says. "You gave him the loaded gun and said: pull the trigger.” - by Newsweek

The doctor complains that he has to hire a bodyguard 24/7 and cannot practice medicine. The pure simple fact that the defense would even pretend that MJ could administer himself a dose is ridiculous. The fact is the doctor had him on an IV drip of Propofol. The drug is super powerful and puts you out within 2 seconds. Being on an IV drip would mean that there was no possibility that the King of Pop woke up and then administered himself another dose.
